Ray Simonson is on BF. "Wild Boar Blades". Looks like he was recently active, may be faster to contact him that way.
I've been through Toutle a few times back and forth from Mount Saint Helens. Not sure where his shop is or if it is just part of his house but I've looked a bit. Toutle isn't very big. I'm told Toutle is pronounced "Toot-uhl".. don't get me started on how you pronounce Puyallup! And Tualatin where Kershaw resides is pronounced somewhere between "twallatin" and "two a' la tin" which makes me picture a pair of pickled herring left over.. with a Leek beside them. What do I know.. I grew up in North Dakota and people think I speak like this:

pictures of before and after removing spots.soaked it in WD40 then used the penny trick and show rubbing compound to finish it.Still has some faint marks and some little chips in the blade but I'll send it in for a resharpen and be good to go. Also getting a sheath made so I can carry it. Don't really consider 4000 rare unless they didnt make them all for some reason.

I'm pretty sure a lot of them never made it all the way through and never were marked so they are "sterile".
